A Brother Was Dead

And a brother was dead
And a song was dedicated
And she started dancing
But before the song was over
I saw her collapsing
Bowed her head and weeping
Shaked around and sobbing
Her tears upon the floor

And I saw her reflection
In the water on the wood
Of the floor
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a hard year
Such a hard year

And a brother was dead
And a song was dedicated
And she started dancing
But before the song was over
I saw her collapsing
Bowed her head and weeping
Shaked around and sobbing
Her tears upon the floor

And I saw her reflection
In the water on the wood
Of the floor
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a beautiful sadness
Such a hard year
Such a hard year
